I'm really digging this LunchBots Quad bento box for my preschooler now. Her overall appetite is less these days, so this way I can offer a variety of foodstuffs in smaller quantities while keeping them all separate. Strangely enough, it's the strawberries and carrots that have been coming home lately. Does she not like strawberries?? I can't fathom that. Everyone loves strawberries, don't they? Anyway, in this bento I've arranged: steamed cod with shoyu, ginger and green onion, roasted shredded Brussels sprouts dusted with parmesan, tiny roasted taters, a star-cut radish, carrots, grapes, strawberries and blackberries. Did I mention how much I superlove this box? Really awesome! Going to be using it a lot this coming school year. ^_^

Hmmm... I think she is going through a "no-no" strawberry phase ?!? Oldest daughter adores it but lil one never was a big fan. She even refuses cakes that has strawberry filling...So neat your kids eat such a variety of fishes! My girls are a bit picky... salmon is the top favorite and then some pikes would do... Pretty bento, always so cheerful!

Wow! I have never seen my kids refuse cake of any kind. Big girl must be happy to take her sister's share...My kids like salmon best too. This fish is pretty mild-tasting, so they don't mind cod either. It's also good in fish tacos, with avocado and salsa. Thanks L!

Sheri, could you show us sometime how you cut radishes like that? I thought it must be simple enough so I tried it, but mine don't look like yours do! I'd love it if you posted some pics of how you go about it.thanks!

Kristie,I'll definitely try to take some process pics of the radish cutting. It's easier than you might think (which is why I do it so often). The carrots too! Always the same kind of cuts, because I'm familiar with it and it saves time. Thanks for asking me. I'll get one of the littles to click the camera, heh.

About Me

I am a former research scientist turned stay-at-home-mom of 2 who got started with bento in an effort to help my kids learn that eating healthy and nutritious foods can be fun and cute. I make a bento lunch for my 11yo (6th grader) son & my 7yo (2nd grader) daughter every school day, and post the pictures on my sherimiya ♥ flickr photostream. Here in this blog is where I describe each bento, and you'll also get a peek inside our family adventures. Thanks for taking a look, and please let me know what you think ^-^!
